Hi all,

Can any one help me on this

There is no specific requirement to configure MGCP for G711 through the command 'mgcp codec'.

The reason for this is that the mgcp codec is automatically configured for G711ulaw as soon as MGCP is enabled on the gateway.

I have capture the output of a show mgcp after enabling in on the gateway for your reference:-

Router(config)#mgcp

Router(config)#do show mgcp

Hi Allan,

Is there any configuration to disable the support for G729 codec on the gateway and only support G711.

Thanks

Hi Patricio, are there specific reasons why you are trying to limit or influence which codec is selected for inbound and/or outbound calls?

Your Regions and Device-Pools will determine what codec your endpoints will negotiate, therefore G729 will only be used if you explicitly configure it.

Hi Allan,

I have a specific scenario where on the headquartes i have a cisco mgcp gateway with a voice guide that has to be played in G711 codec to the brach office, but since the branch has slow link i want to add a trancoding resorce betwen the heardquatres and the branch to force a G711 betwen the headquarter and the trancoder and a G729 betwen the branch and the transcoder. The gateway on the headquarters need to be configured with mgcp.

Many thanks
